Sound Issues With Turntable to PowerNode2i

Hi.

I have a Music Hall MMF 5.3 Turntable and I have it connected to a pre amp through RCAs and then on to my PowerNode2 via Analogue 1 input with a RCA to 3.5mm. I get a very scratchy/distortion noise in the music.

I have tried via Analogue 2 input and the same noise appears.

I put my CD player into Anologue 1 input with a RCA to 3.5mm and the music is fine. Same with Analogue 2 input.

So I hooked up the 3.5mm to my Harmon Kardon Go + Play and it sounds fantastic?

I have had my turntable people look at it and the pre amp and they have set it up to their systems and said its great?

I have an old node which I connected to and the music sounded better but still had some slight distortion. 

The turntable I have is a Music Hall MMF 5.3 Turntable with a Bronze cartridge so its not a cheap unit.

Where do I go from here. Rest set the Bluesound, re set the router. I am at the end of the tests I think.

Do you have any suggestions?

(Bluesound heavy investor, 9 units in the system and really want my turntable to work)

  Hi Ryan, Thanks for the come back, will send in a request form and see how we go. 👍

  Hey Seppi,

  Thanks for the advice, I have a tight space and the pre amp it tucked in next door to the PowerNode. I'll shift it to a different spot and give it a go. Have checked the leads a couple of times but will do it again.

  Thx Seppi/Ryan. 😊 

  Cheers Pez
